His victories have become the touchstone of English nationalism, militarism and imperialism. He was a military genius, yet his megalomania was not in the best interests of his kingdom, let alone the people of France who suffered at his hands. This engaging biography rejects the jingoistic approach to one of England's most renowned military heroes.
